I had a dead pixel on my 1150 when I first got it. Just use warrenty and have them ship you a new laptop. When you get the new one, use the return label and return your laptop with a dead pixel free of charge.
My ship date of i600m is Oct. 29 and I ordered around 12PM PST on the 19th. Apparently it might ship earlier since the Order Status page shows it in "Shipping Prep." Hopefully I'll receive my laptop sometime early next week.
After persuasion from someone from the main Dell forum, I ordered one :-)

Hey shabazkilla, get around to checking the sleeve? Not to sound annoying or pushy but I just want to order a good sleeve ASAP to avoid possible damage to my laptop ...
